a new chapter begins

Hello friends! Sorry for being MIA for a while...you see my world did kind of a 180 about 10 days ago! We found out that we are moving up to Northern CA! Aaannd that we will be moving in a matter of days! :-/

This all was planned but not planned at the same time and I am still trying to wrap my brain around the fact that we will be leaving. Its been such a emotional journey so far. We have been thrilled, excited, sad, nervous, anxious, happy, and tired. I guess these are all normal things to feel when you pack up your whole life and your children's whole life and move hundred's of miles up north. 

Even through the mixed emotions and the exhaustion... i am at complete peace because i know it's the will of God. I can sit here probably all day and tell you all the million ways the stars have aligned for this one or the signs that God has placed before our eyes but i wont because i have a gazillion boxes to face today. But its a pretty dang good story and i promise to share that with you all soon...probably once we are settled. 

So now, if you don't hear from me in a few days it will be because i'll be buried in boxes and spending every last second of our time here with our dear family and friends. 

PS: this is our first move as a married couple and for our girls! Any advice or empty cardboard boxes given are welcomed ;) 

PPS: a blog isn't a blog without pictures, right? Here is a recent pic of Sophia and her new/old buddies having a chat around our friend's pool on our recent trip to our new city. She's been so excited to move and see them again!
